How does the phrase go? "Everyone is famous for 15 minutes."

So post your " Moment of Glory" .  It could be golf related or anything.

For me in golf.

A photographer snapped a picture of me on the tee early one morning with a telephoto lens.

Early morning.  A real nice shot.  I was unaware.

I was surprised to see it on a billboard used for advertising a cell phone.

Kind of neat to see yourself life size up there.

That's pretty cool... yet, illegal.  Unless you gave the photographer permission to use your likeness in the form of an advertising campaign... he and/or the company for whom the advertisment was created owe you some money.

Back on track now... I don't have any golfing moments of glory.  Closest I came to any such thing was finishing runner-up in the C flight of our Club Championship two years ago.

It was explained to me that if you are out in public that you are fair game for a photograph that can be used anywhere.

This is in Canada.

Ahhhh... that may well explain it then!  It's very possible Canada has different regulations surronding issues like this.

I know for certain that, in America, a release form is required to use the likeness of any person in a photograph, video, or any other form of media.  Public domain would not cover this.

Either way... it's still pretty cool that you're on a billboard!

I picked this off the internet and it's from the U.S. so I think the photographer is in the clear on a golf course.

Photo release forms are usually not required of subjects in news photographs (including campus newspaper or television coverage) at public events, such as a basketball game, campus rally, etc. Media visits to the classroom are not considered public events, so release forms should be collected and students should be given the opportunity to opt out of the photo session.

Generally speaking, what can be seen from public view on public land can be photographed without legal repercussions. Photographs taken in private places require consent. Photos taken where there is an expectation of privacy (such as in classrooms) require the person(s) in the photograph sign a Photograph Release Form. Public events, such as the Ohlone College Graduation Ceremony, do not require a Photograph Release Form.

Hmmn?

I played Pebble Beach for the only time about 25 years ago.  It was also the only time I used a caddie.  I was on the 18th tee and pushed my drive, short, behind a tree in the right rough.  I hit a 6 iron to get back to the fairway and it also faded into the rough.  I was about 190 out with a pretty bad lie so I decided to hit a wedge to get back into position to be on the green in four.  I left it about 100 yards from the pin and hit a pitching wedge about as cleanly as I could.  The ball hit six feet to the left of the pin, spun two feet to the right, and stopped.  My moment of glory?  When walking up to the green with the caddie the people on the veranda gave me the only golf-related standing ovation of my life, so I tipped my hat to the people who were clapping. I'm thinking, now THIS is what it's all about!  I'm guessing that they thought that I would be putting for birdie.  The great feeling ended when I missed the four footer for par.  Still, an experience that I'll never forget.

I've had a few (by my standards)

The earliest one was a while back, about 6 or 7 years ago (I was 10 or 11). It was Christmas morning, and I had just gotten a new metal-detector. I was like a kid in a candy shop! With a metal detector!

My dad took me to the beach to comb it over, and the newspaper team was there. They took a shot of me doing my thing (hoping to find a gold ring), and I was on the front page the next day.

Another was a while back I joined oobgolf (online scorecard database and such). I input some of my scores and back then it came to a +2. something handicap. Not too bad (before my knee dislocation). I saw they had a 'player of the week' section, and decided to send an email asking what the requirements were. I immediately got an email back saying they'd love to have me as the player of the week, along with the questions I had to answer. So, if you googled my name, that is one of the first things that pops up haha. It's pretty cool. That's about all I have to think of right now haha get back to me in a few years...

Are  marks and spencers stores still open in England?

They tried them in Canada and it didn't work out.

I held my high school (basketball) career all-time leading scorer record (and many other scoring records) for 16 years.  I am no longer #1 for any of them now, however...

So you had your 'moment of glory' and be proud of your accomplishments.

It's tough to compare records however from other years because the rules change.  e.g. three pointers.   When I played there was no three pointers.

Also.  Who was allowed to shoot for the technical fouls?   Do you see what I mean?

That's terrific.  I competed in the triple jump.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
